Carrion

Famous quotes containing the word carrion:

“So every journey that I make
Leads me, as in the story he was led,
To some new ambush, to some fresh mistake:
So every journey I begin foretells
A weariness of daybreak, spread
With carrion kisses, carrion farewells.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Not, I’ll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee:”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
